This volume includes fifty-nine of Hopper's most important works in full color as well as original works by fiction writers
and poets that pay homage to, or make reference to, the ways in which Hopper pictured our world. Hopper's themes of alienation
and loneliness, empty cityscapes and countrysides, the stark light of Cape Cod, silent hills and houses - all have been indelibly
imprinted on our collective sense of ourselves and our country. This work celebrates the impact Hopper's imagery continues
to have on contemporary culture and is dedicated to a fuller understanding of Hopper's place in the American mind

Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is considered the first significant American painter in 20th century art. Living in a secluded country
house with his wife, Josephine, he depicted the loneliness of big city people in canvas after canvas. Probably the most famous
of them, "Nighthawks", done in 1942, shows a couple seated quietly, as if turned inwards upon themselves, in the harsh artificial
light of an all-night restaurant. Many of Hopper's pictures represent views of streets and roads, rooftops, abandoned houses,
depicted in brilliant light that strangely belies the melancholy mood of the scenes. Hopper's paintings are marked by striking
juxtapositions of color, and by the clear contours with which the figures are demarcated from their surroundings. His extremely
precise focus on the theme of modern men and women in the natural and man-made environment sometimes lends his pictures a
mood of eerie disquiet. In "House by the Railroad", a harsh interplay of light and shadow makes the abandoned building seem
veritably threatening. On the other hand, Hopper's renderings of rocky landscapes in warm brown hues, or his depictions of
the seacoast, exude an unusual tranquility that reveals another, more optimistic side of his character

"Spanning the entirety of Hopper's career, but with particular emphasis on his heyday in the twenties, thirties, and forties,
Edward Hopper highlights his greatest achievements while discussing such topics as his absorption of European influences,
critical reactions to his work, the relation of realism to modernism, his fascination with architecture, his depiction of
women, and the struggle in his last years to produce original works. Illustrated with more than 150 of his oils, watercolors,
prints, and drawings, and including essays by several noted scholars in the field and an extensive chronology and bibliography,
this is the most comprehensive volume on Hopper to be published in many years."--Jacket

"Virginia Mecklenburg, senior curator at the National Museum of American Art, and Margaret Lynne Ausfeld curator at the Montgomery
Museum of Fine Arts, offer us in this volume the unique treatment of this aspect of Hopper's work as a coherent whole. In
the watercolors we see a different facet of Hopper than the one we are accustomed to from his oils, for which be is better
known today."--Jacket

This volume superbly illustrates this dichotomy with full-color reproductions of many of Hopper's most famous compositions.

"Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is the greatest painter of American experience in the twentieth century. Hopper's enigmatic images
speak to the modern world's deep concern with the human condition. In compositions that encompass the city and nature - ranging
from theater interiors, hotels, restaurants, street scenes, railways and gas stations to landscapes and the sea - Hopper created
a moving visual poetry. Indeed, Hopper's most celebrated paintings, such as Railroad Sunset, Early Sunday Morning and Nighthawks,
have become world-famous icons of America's alternating sense of alienation and self-identity." "This monograph examines Hopper's
art from diverse literary, psychological and cultural perspectives, yielding numerous fresh insights into his output. Detailed
discussion of a wide array of Hopper's canvases, watercolors, etchings and meticulous sketches explores how the artist's troubled
marriage, emotions and obsessive themes influenced his vision."--Jacket

This documentary examines American realist painter Edward Hopper's life, including testimonies from people who knew him, and
by those inspired by his work, like German filmmaker Wim Wenders. From Mad Men to Blade Runner and The Simpsons, Hopper's
scenes of modern American life, most notably Nighthawks, have been recreated in myriad films and TV shows, while his style
has influenced the likes of Alfred Hitchcock and Terrence Malick. Obsessed with the everyday, Hopper depicted all-night diners,
cinemas, gas stations, hotel lobbies, and a theater, filling them with seemingly isolated and alienated figures because he
believed loneliness was an inherent feature of city life. This documentary reveals the social and cultural context surrounding
Hopper's work, while also exploring his independence as a painter, the many references to his work in film, and the widespread
reproduction of his works

"Illustrated by over 50 of Edward Hopper's most powerful evocations of New York, Avis Berman's essay explores how Hopper and
his work illuminate each other by analyzing what his New York is - and is not. Ever the contrarian, he offers an alternative
to what other American artists seized on - the new, the gigantic, the technologically exciting. Hopper stayed away from tourist
attractions or landmarks of the city's glamorous skyline. His preference for nondescript vernacular buildings is emblematic
of the larger Hopper paradox: he makes emptiness full, silence articulate, banality intense, plainness mysterious, and tawdriness
noble."--Jacket
